    Canelo is rated at #1 at 154, almost unviersally(the only guy with a claim is Mayweather himself)
    Guerrero top 5 at 147
    Cotto was rated #1 at 154 universally
    Ortiz was top 5, hell maybe top 3 at 147
    Mosley was rated #1 at 147

    Look at other guys with "heralded" resumes

    Abner Mares

    Jhonny Gonzalez- top 10 at FW
    PDL-top 5 at FW
    Moreno- unrated at 122. #1 at 118
    Eric Morel- unranked at 122
    Agbeko- top 3-5 at 118


    Carl Froch

    Mikkel Kessler- top 5 at 168
    Yusuf Mack-unranked at both 168 and 175
    Lucian Bute- top 3 at 168
    Andre Ward- #1 at 168
    Glen Johnson- fringe top 10 at 168



    Andre Ward
    Chad Dawson- #1 at 175
    Carl Froch -#2 at 168
    Arthur Abraham- fringe top 10 at 168
    Sakio Bika- fringe top 10 at 168
    Allan Green-fringe top 10 at 168


    The guys with supposed elite resumes have resumes weaker than Floyd's last 5.

    Considering how much money Floyd's making he's had a great career

    You see, that's the same **** I say about the cut. It will be healed in may to fight Marquez, but won't be healed if he was going to fight mayweather. WTF....
    That's called ducking 101

    To the ppl accusing Mayweather of ducking, can you think of 3 better fighters below 154 to fight Mayweather? Just months ago ppl were claiming he would never fight Canelo and in a few weeks it'll be a "cherry pick"

    it's been very obvious for so long now that floyd don't like danger.

    runs away from tr when margo wanted to fight him, retired when bad dudes were fighting each other at 147, vacationed when pacquiao became a threat.

    He was basically forced into that position to fight Canelo if not he'd be fighting Devon Alexander or Amir Khan !
